INTRODUCTION
Indian Capital Market since liberalization has undergone tremendous changes and has
evolved as a vibrant system of investment flows. A dynamic capital market is an
important segment of the financial system of any country as it plays a significant role
in mobilizing savings and channeling them for productive purposes. The efficient
fund allocation depends on the stock market efficiency in pricing the different
securities traded in it.
The project has been divided into two parts- fundamental analysis and technical
analysis.
This has been done because it has often been said that an ideal trading system would
be to use both fundamental and technical analysis in tandem prior to making an
investment.
The first part of the project deals with fundamental analysis and certain key macro
economic variables that are important prior to making an investment. The first of
these ratios is the market capitalization to GDP ratio which indicates the overall
condition of the market. It is a ratio that is used to find out if the market isundervalued or overvalued. The second important ratio is the price to earnings ratio of
Sensex, which indicates how much the investor is willing to pay per rupee earning of
the company. The next part of fundamental analysis deals with Maslows hierarchy of
needs and its importance in making investment decisions. This part of the project
deals specifically with the Indian population and where they lie on the Maslows
hierarchy of needs level.
The second part of the project deals with technical analysis and its importance to
generate buy and sell signals at key points. A One year study of 15 scrips is done
using an important technical indicator i.e., Exponential Moving Averages through two
different strategies to generate delivery based calls. Similarly, a one year study is
done on Nifty 50 scrips to generate long and short calls for Delivery trading.

Objectives of the study
1. To understand and analyze the functioning of the capital markets2. To understand the importance of macroeconomic variables and analyze its
effect on the Indian stock market
3. To relate Maslows hierarchy of needs and the economic situation of anemerging Indian market.
4. To study the trends in price movements of a stock using various tools ofTechnical analysis.
5. To forecast the future price movements using various technical indicators.6. To analyze intraday trading using candlestick charting.
Limitations of the study
1. Availability of data for all the asset classes was limited.2. The time frame used for technical analysis was limited and hence developing a
new trading system was difficult.
3. The data for the key ratios like the P/E ratio and the Market capitalization toGDP ratios were not easily available.
4. The technical indicators used by itself are not enough to generate the buy andsell signals. Several indicators have to be used in tandem to generate an ideal
trading system.
5. Candlesticks are not yet widely followed in the Indian scenario. The mostwidely used charting system is still the bar charts as they are tried and tested in
the Western countries.
6. Moving averages cannot be used as a standalone indicator as it is a laggingindicator, implying that the moving averages are formed only after the priceaction is generated.
7. Hence a trader may lose out on profits if he uses only moving averages to buyand sell.

INTRODUCTION TO THE INDIAN STOCK MARKET
The Indian broking industry is one of the oldest trading industries that have been
around even before the establishment of BSE in 1875
Inception- The roots of a stock market in India began in the 1860s during theAmerican Civil War that led to a sudden surge in the demand for cotton from
India resulting in setting up of a number of joint stock companies that issued
securities to raise finance.
Bubble burst- The early stock market saw a boom till 1865, and then in Jul1865, what was then used to be called the share mania ended with burst of the
stock market bubble. In the aftermath of the crash, banks, on whose building
steps share brokers used to gather to seek stock tips and share news,
disallowed them to gather there, thus forcing them to find a place of their own,
which later turned into the Dalal Street. A group of about 300 brokers formed
the stock exchange in Jul 1875, which led to the formation of a trust in 1887
known as the Native Share and Stock Brokers Association
Beginning of a new phase- A new phase in the Indian stock markets began inthe 1970s, with the introduction of Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA)
that led to divestment of foreign equity by the multinational companies, which
created a surge in retail investing.
Growth supporting factors-The early 1980s witnessed another surge in stockmarkets when major companies such as Reliance accessed equity markets for
resource mobilization that evinced huge interest from retail investors. A new
set of economic and financial sector reforms that began in the early 1990s
gave further impetus to the growth of the stock markets in India.

Setting up of SEBI- the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI),which was set up in 1988 as an administrative arrangement, was given
statutory powers with the enactment of the SEBI Act, 1992. The broad
objectives of the SEBI include-
o to protect the interests of the investors in securitieso to promote the development of securities markets and to regulate the
securities markets
Incorporation of NSE- NSE was incorporated in Nov 1992 as a tax payingcompany, the first of such stock exchanges in India, since stock exchanges
earlier were trusts, being run on no-profit basis. NSE was recognized as a
stock exchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulations) Act 1956 in Apr
1993. It commenced operations in wholesale debt segment in Jun 1994 and
capital market segment (equities) in Nov 1994. The setting up of the National
Stock Exchange brought to Indian capital markets several innovations and
modern practices and procedures such as nationwide trading network,
electronic trading, greater transparency in price discovery and process driven
operations that had significant bearing on further growth of the stock markets
in India. To speed the securities settlement process, The Depositories Act
1996 was passed that allowed for dematerialization (and dematerialization)
of securities in depositories and the transfer of securities through
electronic book entry. The National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) set
up by leading financial institutions, commenced operations in Oct 1996.
Despite passing through a number of changes in the post liberalization period,the industry has found its way towards sustainable growth. A stock Broker is a
regulated professional who buys and sells shares and other securities through
market makers or Agency Only Firms on behalf of investors. To work as a
broker a certificate of registration from SEBI is mandatory after satisfying all
the terms and conditions.

FINANCIAL MARKETS
The financial markets have been classified as
Cash market (spot market)largest traded, the spot market or cash market is acommodities or securities market in which goods are sold for cash and
delivered immediately.
Derivatives market after cash market, the derivatives markets are thefinancial markets for derivatives. The market can be divided into two that for
exchange traded derivatives and that for over-the-counter derivatives.
Debt market - The bond market (also known as the debt, credit, or fixedincome market) is a financial market where participants buy and sell debt
securities.
Commodities market after commodities market, Commodity markets aremarkets where raw or primary products are exchanged. These raw
commodities are traded on regulated commodities exchanges, in which they
are bought and sold in standardized contracts.
NEED OF A BROKER
A broker is a person or firm that facilitates trades between customers. It is advisable
to conduct transactions through an intermediary. For example one needs to transact
through a trading member of a stock exchange if they intend to buy or sell any
security on stock exchanges. One needs to maintain an account with a depository if
they intend to hold securities in demat form. You need to deposit money with a
banker to an issue if you are subscribing to public issues. One gets guidance if you
are transacting through an intermediary. A broker acts as a go between and, in doing
so, does not assume any risk for the trade. The broker does, however, charge a
commission. A broking firm acts as an intermediary between NSE and Client. Stock
Brokers come under the category of Market Players. The membership in the stock
exchange can be granted as individual membership and corporate membership.

INTRODUCTION
Fundamental Analysis
Introduction to Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis is a process of looking at a business at the basic or
fundamental financial level. The primary assumption of fundamental analysis is that
the all the factors are not discounted in the current market price. There is something
called the intrinsic value of the stock which is its true value. Fundamental analysis
also assumes that the market will reach its true intrinsic value in the long term and
hence the market value and the intrinsic value will reach equilibrium. Hence if the
market value at present is lower than its intrinsic value, then it is good time to invest
and vice versa.
The steps involved in fundamental analysis are:
1. Macroeconomic analysis, which involves considering currencies, commodities and
indices.
2. Industry sector analysis, which involves the analysis of companies that are a part of
the sector.
3. Situational analysis of a company.
4. Financial analysis of the company.
5. Valuation
Fundamental Analysis Tools
There are several tools used for fundamental analysis. Some of the most popular are:
1. Earnings per Share
2. Price to Earnings
3. Projected Earning Growth (PEG)
-

4. Price to Sales (P/S)
5. Price to Book (P/B)
6. Dividend Payout ratio
7. Dividend yield
8. Book value
9. Return on Equity (ROE)
10. Ratio analysis
Stock Market Capitalization to GDP ratio
Market Capitalization - Market capitalization of a company is determined by
multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company.
Similarly, market capitalization of an index is calculated by adding the individual
market capitalization of the companies in the index. Free float market capitalization
method is used to calculate the market capitalization of SENSEX. Free float market
capitalization is defined as that proportion of total shares issued by the company that
are readily available for trading in the market. It excludes promoters holding,
government holding, etc.
Gross Domestic product - GDP is defined as the total market value of all final goods
and services produced within the country in a given period of time.
GDP = C + I + G + NX
CConsumption expenditure
IInvestment expenditure
GGovernment expenditure
NXNet exports = ExportsImports

Stock Market Capitalization to GDP ratio - The stock market cap to GDP ratio is
used to measure whether a market is overvalued or undervalued. Usually a value of
over 100% indicates that the market is overvalued and best not to invest. A value of
below 100% is considered undervalued and hence the right time to invest. Warren
buffet said that if the ratio is around 80% it is a good time to invest and if it is more
than 200% then it is better to stay away from investing in that market.

Changes in Stock Market Capitalization to GDP ratio
Analysis of the ratio
The Stock Market capitalization to GDP ratio is used to determine whether an overall
market is undervalued or overvalued. The ratio can be used to focus on specific
markets, such as the Indian market, or it can be applied to the world market depending
on what values are used in the calculation.
For the first time in Indias history, the market capitalization of the BSE crossed th e
countrys domestic GDP. This statistic can be observed in the graph as well, where
the market capitalization to GDP ratio crossed 1 for the first time.
As the chart above suggests, for India, the average market cap to GDP number over
the past 2 decades has been 52%. Indian markets were trading near this ratio in March
2009 (when the downward rally started). And as we stand currently, the markets are
back at almost their 2008 peak.

8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
26/68
As per Buffett, a 70-80% range on this ratio indicates that markets are somewhere
between moderate valuation and fair valuation. If the ratio exceeds 115%, the markets
are in the overvalued zone where odds of investing are not in the favor of investor.
Price To Earnings Ratio of the SENSEX
P/E ratio - The price to earnings ratio is an important indicator used by several
fundamental analysts. The P/E of a company tells us how much the investor is willing
to pay, based on the earnings of the company. The P/E ratio also tells us how much
the market is willing to pay the investor per rupee earning of the company.
The P/E ratio is calculated as
P/E= Stock price/Earnings per share
The stock price is the current market value of the stock.
The EPS can be calculated in three ways. EPS is calculated as the net earnings divided
by the outstanding shares. If the EPS is calculated based on the net earnings of the
previous four quarters, it is called trailing P/E. If the EPS is calculated based on the
estimated earnings of the next four quarters, it is called a forward P/E. Sometimes theEPS is calculated using the net earnings of the previous two quarters and the next two
quarters. Hence there are types of P/E ratio.
Significance of the ratio - The P/E ratio cannot be the only indicator to base ones
investment. There are two ways to read the P/E ratio. One method is to compare the
P/E of the company to the industry P/E. If the P/E of the company is higher than the
P/E of the industry it means that the market is expecting some positive events from
the company as far as earnings are concerned. This can be interpreted in two ways. It
could mean that the company is outperforming the market and hence is overheated or
it could mean that there are some positive events associated with the company and
hence a good time to invest. The second method to read the P/E is to compare the P/E
of the company with its competitors in the same industry. This gives a general idea as
to whether the stock price is undervalued or overvalued.

Analysis of the ratio
The P/E ratio of the BSE Sensex had been fluctuating till 1994-95. It has been
relatively stable from then on shifting between 15- 20 levels which is good P/E for a
growing economy.
The P/E of the Sensex as of June 2010 is 20.5. This when compared to the emerging
and developed market is quite high. Except the US Nasdaq, the P/E ratios of the major
indices are between 12 and 17.

Analyzing India Using Maslows Hierarchy of Needs
Physiological needs- These are the basic needs that are required to sustain life. They
include food, water, air, etc. According to Maslows theory, if these fundamental
needs are not satisfied then one will surely be motivated to satisfy them. Higher needs
such as social needs and esteem needs are not recognized until one satisfies the needs
basic to existence.
Safety needs- Once basic needs are satisfied the attention turns to safety and security
needs of the individual. The various safety and security needs include housing
security, insurance, job security, financial security, etc.
Social needs- This, according to Maslows, is the first level of higher level needs.Social needs are those related to interaction with others and they include friendship,
belonging to a group, etc.
Esteem needs- Esteem needs can be internal esteem needs or external esteem needs.
The esteem needs include self-respect, achievement, attention, recognition and
reputation. The first two are internal esteem needs where as the last three are external
esteem needs.

Self-actualization- Self-actualization is the summit of Maslows hierarchy of needs.
It is the quest of reaching ones full potential as a person. The needs associated with
self-actualization include truth, justice, wisdom, etc.

INTRODUCTION
Despite the economic reforms of 1991, Indias economic growth has been slow
compared to the levels achieved by the other Asian economies in the past. From 1991
when the economic reforms began till 2000 end, Indias GDP per capita has
grown at 4.2% a year. Up to the early 1980s, GDP per capita grew at only 1.6% a
year. From the mid 1980s to 1991, GDP per capita grew to around 2.6% a year.
Currently the growth rate hovers around 6% to 9%.
The growth patterns of the Indian economy are an indicator of not just the economic
scope in the country but societal pattern as well. The further study analyses specific
indicators of the Indian economy relative to the GDP growth, which may support thepositioning of the Indian people on Maslows Hierarchy of Needs. Through the
findings, it seems most probable that India has the majority of its population lying in
the Security and Social Needs of Maslows Hierarchy.
Subsequent passages show examples from the demographics of the country which
may support this position of the Indian population on the Hierarchy of Needs.

Findings
The demography pattern of India shows that the majority of the population lies in the
1564 years age bracket. This by itself can lead to an assumption that the majority of
the population fall in the Security and Social needs of Maslows Hierarchy. If we look
at the average age of the population we notice that India is by and large a young
nation, which further substantiates the finding.
The poverty figures have been declining over the years. From 26% in 2000, the
population below the poverty line by 2006 estimates dropped to 22%. The literacy
rates of India are unimpressive at a mere 61% and have decreased over the years,
which is not a promising sign. The decreasing mortality rates and increasing life
expectancy show that healthcare in India has been bettering over the years. As such,
even on the healthcare front Security needs of the Indian people even though
improving, need substantial improvement.

Other examples corroborating the findings
The following specifics of India have been used to substantiate our findings:
Household Insurance Telecom
A majority of Indians have per capita space equivalent to or less than a 10 feet x 10
feet room for their living, sleeping, cooking, washing and toilet needs. The average is
103 sq ft per person in rural areas and 117 sq ft per person in urban areas. It may then
be inferred that most of the population are somehow satisfying the physiological need
of housing.
Though the number of companies providing insurance is being increasing but the
contrasting fact is only 1% of the population is insured for life. The insurance sector is
still highly untapped. On the telecommunications front, more than half of the
population own mobile phones. In absolute numbers this translates into 600 million
mobile users in the country. In comparison, land lines are only a meager 150 million.
Consequently we assume that with the shift of preference to mobile phones over theyears, the Indian people are addressing their social needs as well.
However, this does not indicate that the majority of the population may have
surpassed the social needs status on Maslows hierarchy.
Analysis
From the GDP growth it can be understood that India is an emerging growing
economy. The average age of the Indian population is 24.9 years and hence by and
large a relatively young population. Also a majority of the population fall under the
15-64 years age bracket which substantiates the finding that majority of the Indian
population lie in the Social and Security needs of Maslows hierarchy. What this
indicates is that the Indian government needs to address the security needs of the
Indian population through more reforms in the insurance sector, more impetus on
rural education and finally more investment in the rural household sector.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
35/68
The last of the three is substantiated by the fact that the poverty figures in India are
very disheartening and there is an urgent requirement from the government to spend
heavily on the rural household sector.
The poverty figures indicate that 22% of the population is struggling to address their
physiological needs. Only about 30% of the population is urbanized and hence this
further substantiates the findings that majority of the population falls in the security
needs of Maslows hierarchy. To further confirm the above findings it is important to
note that only 1% of the population is insured for life and 0.2% is covered under
mediclaim. With the increasing number of insurance companies, Indian population is
trying to fulfill their security needs.
I would also like to add that though most of the Indian people are carrying cell phones
with them, they cannot be placed on the social needs of Maslows hierarchy. The fact
that a large section of the population are still struggling to meet their security needs
cannot be ruled out. The research also led me to believe, albeit inconclusively, that
not more than 5% of the population of India has passed the social needs stage. Hence
it may easily be concluded that Indians lie on the Security needs stage of the
Maslows hierarchy.
Correlation between SENSEX and Nifty
SENSEX is the sensitive Index of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), India, a Market
Capitalization Weighted average of 30 large and financially stable companies BSE
stock prices. These 30 companies account for a half of the total market capitalization
of BSE. Started since 1986, SENSEX is monitored by most of the global markets as
well.
NIFTY is Standard & Poors CRISIL NSE Index 50, is the index for large and
financially sound companies whose stocks are being traded on National of National
Stock Exchange (NSE) of India. Started since November 1995, nifty is most widely
used for benchmarking index funds, index based derivatives and to evaluate the
overall performance of the nations stock market over time. On plotting the daily
closing values of Sensex and Nifty for about last three and a half years (2nd
Jan 2007
to 31st May 2010), with the hypothesis that SENSEX is independent variable and
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
36/68
Nifty is dependent on SENSEX, by performing ANOVA or Analysis of variables test
in MS-Excel, the coefficient of correlation or R-square comes out to be 85% and the
hypothesis proves to be correct with 95% confidence. The inference from above
mathematical analysis is that even though both indices belong to separate markets,
their performance/daily movement is almost identical, which can be spotted visually
as well, because both the curves fit very well and mostly give identical information.
The war between the two has intensified due to the ever rising competition between
NSE and BSE. Both of them have their own USPs. The market Capitalization of NSE
is almost twice of BSE, but, the BSE is the oldest stock exchange in Asia and has its
own history. The fact that both are having many independent powers & separate
entities worsens the situation. So, the only common link between them now is SEBI,
which has a totally different role, as its a regulatory authority to watch and control
the legal and ethical aspects of the market and protect the interests of shareholders.
Hence, no one, not even the SEBI is an intermediary between the two, thereby,
intensifying the competition between them to become the preferred exchange for top
companies. Even though the competition is healthy for any company to emerge
stronger, provide more value added services and work smarter, it becomes totally
unhealthy and destructive when there are price wars and a red ocean causing them to
put their riches in advertising and other undue marketing/brand building expenses.

So, whom to track? Whom to believe and follow? Which of them is a better indicator
of the market? Who is better in improving the Indian stocks? Ironically, it doesnt
matter at all. Both SENSEX and Nifty are well diversified and contains many similar
companies stocks. So, even though Nifty has got 20 more companies, thats 67%
more variety, both SENSEX and Nifty moves in the same direction and the trend
seems like totally correlated. There is a definite difference in scale or magnitude, but,
after scaling and equalizing both to similar bases, there will be hardly any difference
in both indices. So, the choice is based only on convenience and not on the
performance. The global markets prefer SENSEX because that was the only option
with them earlier and they dont want to switch to other without any clear reason for
that sudden change.
Technical Analysis
Introduction to Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is the study of market action, primarily through the use of charts,
for the purpose of forecasting future price trends. For technical analysts, the term
market action includes three sources of information. They are price, volume and open
interest. Open interest is used only in futures and options.
There are three premises on which technical analysis is based. They are
1) Market action discounts everything - Anything and everything that affects the
price is actually reflected in the price of that market. Hence a technical analyst will
only study the price action and not the reasons behind the change in the price.
2) Prices move in trends - There are three types of trends. They are uptrend,downtrend and sideways trend. The assumption of technical analysis is that a trend in
motion is more likely to continue than reverse or a trend in motion will continue in the
same direction until it reverses.
3) History repeats itself - The meaning of the phrase history repeats itself is that the
key to understanding the future lies in the study of the past, or that the future is just a
repetition of the past.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
38/68
Usually the following tools & instruments are used to do the technical analysis:
Price Fields
Technical analysis is based almost entirely on the analysis of price and volume. Thefields which define a security's price and volume are explained below.
Open - This is the price of the first trade for the period (e.g., the first trade of the
day). When analyzing daily data, the Open is especially important as it is the
consensus price after all interested parties were able to "sleep on it."
High - This is the highest price that the security traded during the period. It is the
point at which there were more sellers than buyers (i.e., there are always sellerswilling to sell at higher prices, but the High represents the highest price buyers were
willing to pay).
Low - This is the lowest price that the security traded during the period. It is the point
at which there were more buyers than sellers (i.e., there are always buyers willing to
buy at lower prices, but the Low represents the lowest price sellers were willing to
accept).
Close - This is the last price that the security traded during the period. Due to its
availability, the Close is the most often used price for analysis. The relationship
between the Open (the first price) and the Close (the last price) are considered
significant by most technicians. This relationship is emphasized in candlestick charts.
Volume - This is the number of shares (or contracts) that were traded during the
period. The relationship between prices and volume (e.g., increasing prices
accompanied with increasing volume) is important.
Open Interest - This is the total number of outstanding contracts (i.e., those that have
not been exercised, closed, or expired) of a future or option. Open interest is often
used as an indicator.
Bid - This is the price a market maker is willing to pay for a security (i.e., the price
you will receive if you sell).
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
39/68
Ask - This is the price a market maker is willing to accept (i.e., the price you will pay
to buy the security).
Chart Styles
Price in a chart can be displayed in following styles:
1. Bar Chart.
2. Line Chart.
3. Candlestick Chart.
1) Bar Charts:
The highs and lows of a stock are plotted in a diagram and the points are joined with
vertical lines (bars). A small horizontal tick to the left denotes the opening level while
a small horizontal tick to the right represents the closing price of each interval.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
40/68
2) Line Chart
It gives the detailed information about every aspect. The stock prices for each time
period are plotted in a diagram and the points are joined. Prices on the y-axis and time
on the x-axis.
The line chart chooses for example the closing price of consecutive time periods, but
can also work with daily, official fixings.
3) Candlestick Chart
Although candlestick charts are nearly identical to typical Western bar charts, there is
one important distinction: candlestick charts are far more dramatic in their
presentation. Instead of the standard high-to-low vertical lines accompanied by
horizontal ticks that identify the day's open and close, candlestick charts employ two-
dimensional bodies to depict the open-to-close trading range and upper and lower
stems (or shadows) to mark the day's high and low. A candlestick is black if the
closing price is lower than the opening price. A candlestick is white if the closing
price is higher than the opening price.

8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
41/68
Candlestick Patterns
Bullish Patterns
1) Long white (empty) line. This is a bullish line. It occurs when
prices open near the low and close significantly higher near the
period's high
2) Hammer. This is a bullish line if it occurs after a significant
downtrend. If the line occurs after a significant up-trend, it is
called a Hanging Man. A Hammer is identified by a small real
body (i.e., a small range between the open and closing prices)
and a long lower shadow (i.e., the low is significantly lower than
the open, high, and close). The body can be empty or filled-in.
3) Piercing line. This is a bullish pattern and the opposite of a
dark cloud cover. The first line is a long black line and the
second line is a long white line. The second line opens lower
than the first line's low, but it closes more than halfway above the
first line's real body.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
42/68
4) Bullish engulfing lines. This pattern is strongly bullish if it
occurs after a significant downtrend (i.e., it acts as a reversal
pattern). It occurs when a small bearish (filled-in) line is
engulfed by a large bullish (empty) line.
5) Morning star. This is a bullish pattern signifying a potential
bottom. The "star" indicates a possible reversal and the bullish
(empty) line confirms this. The star can be empty or filled-in.
6) Bullish doji star. A "star" indicates a reversal and a doji
indicates indecision. Thus, this pattern usually indicates a
reversal following an indecisive period. You should wait for a
confirmation (e.g., as in the morning star, above) before trading a
doji star. The first line can be empty or filled in.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
43/68
Bearish Patterns
1) Long black (filled-in) line. This is a bearish line. It occurs
when prices open near the high and close significantly lower near
the period's low
2) Hanging Man. These lines are bearish if they occur after a
significant uptrend. If this pattern occurs after a significant
downtrend, it is called a Hammer. They are identified by small
real bodies (i.e., a small range between the open and closing
prices) and a long lower shadow (i.e., the low was significantly
lower than the open, high, and close). The bodies can be empty
or filled-in.
3) Dark cloud cover. This is a bearish pattern. The pattern is
more significant if the second line's body is below the center of
the previous line's body (as illustrated).
4) Bearish engulfing lines. This pattern is strongly bearish if it
occurs after a significant uptrend (i.e., it acts as a reversal
pattern). It occurs when a small bullish (empty) line is engulfed
by a large bearish (filled-in) line.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
44/68
5) Evening star. This is a bearish pattern signifying a potential
top. The "star" indicates a possible reversal and the bearish
(filled-in) line confirms this. The star can be empty or filled in.
5) Doji star. A star indicates a reversal and a doji indicates
indecision. Thus, this pattern usually indicates a reversal
following an indecisive period. You should wait for a
confirmation (e.g., as in the evening star illustration) before
trading a doji star.
6) Shooting star. This pattern suggests a minor reversal when it
appears after a rally. The star's body must appear near the low
price and the line should have a long upper shadow.
Reversal
Patterns
1) Long-legged doji. This line often signifies a turning point. It
occurs when the open and close are the same, and the range
between the high and low is relatively large.
2) Dragon-fly doji. This line also signifies a turning point. It
occur when the open and close are the same, and the low is
significantly lower than the open, high, and closing prices.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
45/68
3) Gravestone doji. This line also signifies a turning point. It
occurs when the open, close, and low are the same, and the high
is significantly higher than the open, low, and closing prices.
4) Star. Stars indicate reversals. A star is a line with a small real
body that occurs after a line with a much larger real body, where
the real bodies do not overlap. The shadows may overlap.
5) Doji star. A star indicates a reversal and a doji indicates
indecision. Thus, this pattern usually indicates a reversal
following an indecisive period. You should wait for a
confirmation (e.g., as in the evening star illustration) before
trading a doji star.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
46/68
Neutral Patterns
1) Spinning tops. These are neutral lines. They occur when the
distance between the high and low, and the distance between the
open and close, are relatively small.
2) Doji. This line implies indecision. The security opened and
closed at the same price. These lines can appear in several
different patterns. Double doji lines (two adjacent doji lines)
imply that a forceful move will follow a breakout from the
current indecision.
3) Harami ("pregnant" in English). This pattern indicates a
decrease in momentum. It occurs when a line with a small body
falls within the area of a larger body. In this example, a bullish
(empty) line with a long body is followed by a weak bearish
(filled in) line. This implies a decrease in the bullish momentum.
4) Harami cross. This pattern also indicates a decrease in
momentum. The pattern is similar to a harami, except the second
line is a doji (signifying indecision).

DATA ANALYSIS
AND
INTERPRETATION
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
48/68
Key Technical Indicators
There are several indicators that are used in technical analysis. But I have chosen to
highlight the following indicators as I have used some of these further in the project.
1. Moving average
2. Relative Strength Index (RSI)
3. Larry Williams % R
4. Moving average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
5. Fibonacci tools
1) Moving average - The moving average essentially a trend following indicator or a
lagging indicator as it is formed after the price movement occurs. Its purpose is to
identify or signal that a new trend has begun or that an old trend has ended or
reversed. Its purpose is to track the progress of the trend.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
49/68
There are three types of moving averages that are used by technical analysts. They are
a) Simple moving average - It is calculated by taking the average of the previous 10
or 15 closing prices. The weights given to each day is the same i.e. in a 10 day simple
moving average, the weight given for the 10th day closing price is the same as the
weight given for the 1st day closing price. The disadvantage of the simple moving
average is that it reacts slower to the price movement when compared to an
exponential moving average.
b) Linearly weighted moving average - In this type of moving average weights are
given in a linear proportion to each days closing price i.e. the 10th day closing price
is multiplied with 10, the 9th day with 9, and so on. The greater weight is given to the
most recent closing.
c) Exponential moving average - The exponential moving average assigns greater
weight to more recent data and it includes in its calculation all of the data in the life of
the instrument. The advantage of using exponential moving averages is that it reacts
quicker to the price movement than a simple moving average.
Analyzing moving averages - There are two ways to analyze moving averages. They
are as follows:
a) Single moving average and price - A single moving average is used to generate
buy and sell signals. When the price line moves above the moving average, a buy
signal is generated. Conversely, when the price line moves below the moving average,
a sell signal is generated.
b) Double crossover method - In this case two moving averages are used. One is a
shorter moving average and the other a longer moving average. When the shorter
moving average crosses above the longer moving average, a buy signal is generated.
Conversely, when the shorter moving average crosses below the longer moving
average, a sell signal is generated.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
50/68
2) Relative Strength Index (RSI) - Relative strength generally means a ratio line
comparing two different entities. A ratio of a stock or industry group to the Sensex is
one way of gauging relative strength of different stocks or industry groups against one
objective benchmark. Relative strength index solves the problem of erratic movement
and the need for constant upper and lower boundary.
The formula used for calculating RSI is
RSI=100-100/1+RS
RS=Average of x days up close/ Average of x days down close
Chart 2.6: Illustration of RSI
Analyzing Relative Strength Index - RSI is plotted on a vertical scale of 0 to 100.
Movements above 70 are considered overbought while an oversold condition would
be move under 30.
Because of shifting that takes place in bull and bear market, the 80 level usually
becomes overbought level in bull market and the 20 level the oversold level in bear
market.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
51/68
3) Larry Williams % R- Larry Williams % R measures the latest close in relation
to its price range over a given number of days. Todays close is subtracted from the
price high of the range for a given number of days and that difference is divided by
the total range for the same period.
In technical analysis this is a momentum indicator measuring overbought and
oversold levels. It is used to determine market entry and exit points.
Chart 2.7: Illustration ofWilliams % R
Analyzing Williams % R - The Williams % R produces values from 0 to -100. A
reading over 80 usually indicates a stock is oversold, while reading below 20 suggests
a stock is overbought.
4) Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) - MACD is comprised of
two sets of line. One is called the faster line and the other the slower line. The faster
line is the difference between two exponential moving averages (usually 12 and 26). It
is also called the MACD line.
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
52/68
The slower line is usually a 9 day exponential moving average of the MACD line. It is
also called the signal line. The buy and sell signals are based on the crossovers
between the two lines. Hence it is very similar to the double crossover method of
moving averages.
Chart 2.8: Illustration of MACD
Analyzing MACD - When the MACD line (faster line) crosses above the signal line
(slower line), a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the MACD line crosses
below the signal line, a sell signal is generated.
Another way of interpretation using MACD is by comparing it with the zero line to
indicate overbought or oversold conditions. An overbought condition is when the
lines are well above the zero line and hence indicating a sell signal. An oversold
condition is when the lines are well below the zero line and hence indicating a buy
signal.
5) Fibonacci tools - Fibonacci tools utilize special ratios that naturally occur in nature
to help predict points of support or resistance. Fibonacci numbers are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,
13, 21, 34, 55, 89, etc. The sequence occurs by adding the previous two numbers (i.e.
1+1=2, 2+3=5) The main ratio used is .618, this is found by dividing one Fibonacci
number into the next in sequence Fibonacci number (55/89=0.618). The logic most
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
53/68
often used by Fibonacci based traders is that since Fibonacci numbers occur in nature
and the stock, futures, and currency markets are creations of nature - humans.
Therefore, the Fibonacci sequence should apply to the financial markets.
Chart 2.9: Illustration of Fibonacci retracement
Fibonacci retracements - Arguably the most heavily used Fibonacci tool is the
Fibonacci Retracement. To calculate the Fibonacci Retracement levels, a significant
low to a significant high should be found. From there, prices should retrace the initial
difference (low to high or high to low) by a ratio of the Fibonacci sequence, generally
the 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, or the 76.4% retracement.
Technical Analysis Software - The technical analysis software used is Metastock,
which is created by Equis International, a Thomson Reuters company. It is the most
widely used technical analysis software. The major competitors of Reuters are
Bloomberg and Dow Jones Newswires.
Trading Strategy
-
8/2/2019 Capital Market With Front Pages
54/68
As part of my technical analysis I worked on a technique for delivery based trading. I
have used 15 minute candlestick chart along with 2 exponential moving averages (8
EMA & 34 EMA) for my study. Candlestick chart is used as they are far more
dramatic in their presentation and it employ two-dimensional bodies to depict the
open-to-close trading range and upper and lower stems (or shadows) to mark the day's
high and low. The idea of using exponential moving average is that it assigns greater
weight to more recent data, and thereby reacts quicker to the price movement than a
simple moving average. I have specifically used 8 and 34 EMAs as they are Fibonacci
numbers and hold much importance in analyzing stock prices.
I have analyzed both the EMAs with double crossover method, i.e., when the 8 EMA
crosses above the 34 EMA, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the 8 EMA
crosses below the 34 EMA, a sell signal is generated. For my study I have considered
only buy signals as we can shortsell only in intraday trading.
For the buy signal, I have considered the closing price of the candlestick which is
forming just after the crossover. The position has to be kept until I get a signal to
close the position.
To close the position I have followed two different strategies. They are:
1. Closing the position with the first candlestick being formed below the lower
moving average.
2. Closing the position when a candlestick is formed whose closing is below the lower
moving average.

Process for the study
The purpose of this project was to find a successful trading system using candlesticks
and moving averages in tandem. Two exponential moving averages were used namely
8 EMA and 34 EMA with the help of which trading signal has to be generated over a
one year time period from May 2009 to June 2010. Two different strategies were used
as mentioned above and the study was done on 14 selected securities namely,
Balrampur Chini, DLF, ITC, Reliance Capital, Suzlon Energy, JP Associates, Sesa
Goa, Bhushan Steel, Infosys, Ansal Properties, ICICI Bank, HUL, L&T and ONGC.
Along with this the same study is also done on Nifty futures. The study was
conducted by plotting fifteen minute candlestick chart along with the two EMAs
simultaneously on Metastock.
Findings
The following table illustrates the accuracy and the returns for the study over a period
of one year:

CONCLUSIONS
Conclusion of the study of both the trading strategies
With the study of 14 different scrips and an Index future on both the trading
strategies, it was observed that the first strategy was comparatively better than the
second strategy.
For most of the scrips the returns were higher if trading is done with the first strategy.
The return for all the 14 scrips taken together comes to 430.94% and 254.44% taking
the first and the second strategies respectively. For Nifty futures also, the returns were
higher with the first trading strategy.
From the above study, it can be clearly concluded that the first strategy stands ahead
in comparison with the second.
Based on this conclusion, a further study is conducted for the futures contract of the
entire 50 scrips comprising Nifty.
Nifty Fifty Stock Futures analysis for a period of one year from May 2009 to
June 2010
After an in-depth study of both the trading strategies, it has already been concluded
that the first strategy stay ahead in comparison with the second one. Based on the
outcome of the previous study, another research is carried out with the futures
contract of the 50 scrips comprising the Nifty.
In this study, I have analyzed both the EMAs with double crossover method, i.e.,
when the 8 EMA crosses above the 34 EMA, a buy signal is generated. Conversely,
when the 8 EMA crosses below the 34 EMA, a sell signal is generated. As these are
future contracts, I am considering both the long and short calls for the purpose of
study, as this will enable the readers to understand the returns in both the calls.

A study has been made which shows the relationship between different economic
variables and the market variables and the interrelationship between them. Thus it has
been observed that there is not a single factor that affects the movement in the stock
market but a number of variables like GDP, P/E, etc. influence a market to a great
extent. Any investor before making an investment should analyze the general
economic conditions prevailing in the economy and should make a suitable
framework for investment decisions. In the Maslows hierarchy we learnt that before
a company goes for overseas expansion it tries to study in which state of Maslows
hierarchy the desired country(India) is in. This makes the prediction of the various
